Tim Dowd, creator, writer, editor and producer toured with us through Broadway and Times Square. As true New Yorker, Tim has deep insights into the history of these sites. He shared many little stories with us and let us feel the hills and valleys of an actor. His voice was loud and clear. Therefore, he did not need a micro at all. A trailer of Threeway, starring Tim Dowd can be found on IMDb.

A whistle stop tour of Broadway, Lots of history and facts told by the fab Abigail who told us a lot about her past as well as taking a real interest in the group. We stopped at lots of places on the tour and Abigail told us how to get cheap tickets with the 2 for 1 offer and also the lottery. We are lucky enough that tonight we got to see Phantom Of the Opera and will be seeing Six In a few days time. If your in New York a trip to the theatre is a must. If your in New York now check out the 2 for 1 deals on until 25/9/22
